I�d heard great things about the friendliness of the staff and the setting at this site,much to my dismay upon arrival we weren�t greeted by any of the staff nor shown where wouldbe safe to set down.being new to camping I�d borrowed a camper from a friend and taking my daughter thought we�d have a lovely time,I�m sorry to say that didn�t happen.we were going to stay an extra night but got bogged down in the mud trying to get off the sodden ground wheel spinning almost up to the axle.had it not of been for another camper rushing over and telling me to stop I fear I�d never of got the van out.i was helped by this lovely guy who fetched a tow rope from the site tractor as the on duty manager was nowhere to be seen he proceeded to find a suitable attachment point and went to tow us out using his car,it was during this time that the manager came over in his tractor and towed us out.ive never felt so embarrassed in my life,so much so that we didn�t come back for our last night returning home early.i imagine that during the summer it�s a lovely place to visit but with the onset of winter and the state of the ground there and lack of decent facilities and friendly staff it�s not a place I�d recommend visiting.ive spoken to my friends who looked at me with disbelief saying that the site and staff especially were always super friendly and helpful,I won�t let this first experience put me off taking my daughter camping,it was a steep learning curve but I didn�t need to feel humiliated for something that if I was told where to park could�ve been avoided.

This site has so much potential, the woodland is beautiful and the staff friendly and welcoming. There were little activities available to purchase at low cost for the kids such as trails. However the number of units on site and over use has left the site a bit bare and boggy and the 3 toilets were not very clean and too busy. The "pitch anywhere you like" and number of units means it is hard to find a peaceful spot. I so wanted to love this site but the cost for one night with discount for the facilities and state of the site with the number of campers packed in is just not worth it. I paid �18 for one adult and 1 child for one night, that was at the high end of all the sites we'd stayed at during our trip and by far the worst facilities. Location wise it was good for us as we were heading back from Wales and it is not far from the M4. Not sure I'd use it again though.

Great welcome when we arrived even though the wardens were having their lunch,nicest welcome in all 10 years of camping.Really helpful,nice people,able to choose our pitch,bonus!Lovely quiet place,lovely 20 minute walk into town.Nice town with plenty of great places to have lunch.
Only down side was that it rained on and off the whole time but then that's just good old English weather.Will definitely return when the sun shines !!!

Arrival / check in fine. Offer of help to pitch up was very welcomed, no issues with the team at all. Just the whole thing of pitch up where you like, makes it very haggled piggaldy, I would personally prefer a set out pitch.
The toilet block certainly needs attention. They were on the two occasions I visited then in need of a clean / smelly.
The location is superb for being in the forest, brilliant for dog walks or children to climb trees.
I feel it's very expensive for what you get. Sadly I would not stay there again.
